As most of you know, I'm a huge ViNa fan and I'm on strike with this show. I refuse to watch. I do occasionally come here to check for any news or video clips of Nikhil and Mahima. I said in another post that we fans get to see them more off camera and in other shows than on SSLK.
I feel the CVs have done terrible injustice to ViNa, and especially to Rachna's character. Instead of making her evolve they have made her worse than she was before. Did she not learn a single thing from her experience doing the bag business and then participating in the fashion contest? The CVs made her take two steps backwards instead of forward by turning her into someone with the mind of a child, totally obsessed with her parents and family. Family love and comittment is a wonderful thing, but Rachna is almost an adult now. Why is she having such strong attachments to her parents now? Has she not learned anything living with Gunjan? How to be independent and strong? Gunjan also loves her family but Gunjan is not shown kissing up to them every second of the day. Gunjan was even willing to fight her own father to be with Mayank. Why can't Rachna have the same kind of loyalty to Vihaan?
I feel the CVs made 2 huge blunders with Rachna and Vihaan's storyline. The first one was the drug bust at the party they attended. Had that stupidity not occured, Vihaan and Rachna would have made advancements in their relationship. That whole "Rachna goes into business" story could've been handled a lot better. It was a major let-down. She didn't even continue the business!
The CVs' next mistake is bringing in someone new for Rachna. Not only is it foolish and unbelievable that Rachna would suddenly stop loving Vihaan and fall for an older neighbor of hers, but it is basically a repeat of the track with Gunjan and Aditya. The assumption is that Rachna's parents will push for her marriage and consider this neighbor as a potential groom. Rachna will cave into her parents's pressure so that she can be a good girl and do whatever they want and in the process convince herself that she loves this guy. Just like Gunjan tried to convince herself that she loved Aditya and would be happy with him. Thankfully the Gunjan-Aditya wedding nonsense didn't last too long. I hope the same is true for this track with Rachna and her neighbor. And above all I hope Nikhil stays on the show as Vihaan.
